Hammerhead comments

Something else someone like Tatchell, and the author of this book, personify is the turning point from when some venture transforms from being a political movement to an industry, a money making venture. A re-writing of society's values for the sake of personal financial interests.

Of course it happens in other realms, but when it comes to infant re-education by gay pulp fiction authors, I think we should err on the side of caution.

Look, I get the "every chance to denigrate Japan" line ... and even "we cured Japan with WWII" line (although I don't agree with it) but this is someone in charge of children who was acting violently and abusively and threatening people with scissors.

Is that acceptable behavior?

Japan existed at peace with itself and others for 250 years before the US kicked in its front doors and started to threat it.

On the other hand, it did also finance offshore wind power generation in The Netherlands and a geothermal power station in Iceland.

Coal from Indonesia does come to Japan, which may be connected (the JBIC is involved in it too) and it is for a "ultra-supercritical power plant" which is the most efficient, least polluting coal-fired powerplants.

On the basis of their other reporting in japan, I don't take Thomson Reuters very seriously.

That's weird, I posted about the JET programme's Certificate of Health and support for mental health isses and it got removed.

It appears that once a moderator starts obsessing about one's post they start removing all of them.

What was wrong with this?

--

In order to join a JET program, you have to fill in a "JET Programme Certificate of Health"

The application clearly states, "Any false information, or any medical conditions withheld will lead to your application being disqualified".

One of the questions in the English version is, "Have you ever been treated for any mental, emotional, nervous or eating disorders or for depression?"

Clearly stated is, "You must answer Yes to this question if you have been treated for any of the above at any time in your life ... This [doctor's] letter should clearly state whether you are fit for life in Japan as an ALT or CIR". However, it also says that, "past physical or mental illness will not disqualify you from the JET Programme, but false information or withholding of information will do".

I wonder how he got through having been recenty sectioned for violent behavior beforehand in NZ.

Perhaps that is why the family is not suing?

It seems the JET Programme itself provides mental health counselling assistance and many local groups have additional support. Apart from the nature of his illness, I wonder how he slipped through the safety net.

Why is no one demanding JET tighten up their act?

Being in such a foreign land and cut off from everything familiar is hard enough for many mentally healthy individuals. I'm thinking of JETs who get sent off to distant/rural schools and many mature immigrant.

I'd love to know the name of the Thomson Reuters correpondence because "Appeal-to-Authority" seems to be their middle name. They do the same in the comfort women press releases and they do the same here.

"A Japanese campaign group whose members include lawyers and academics".

I did post about the latest findings in the whole "gay gene" meme and other research into environmental factors, the primary one being child sex abuse, but it was removed.

What NAMBLA and its support from the GRM published were statements such as

"The liberation of pedophilia must be viewed as a gay issue...

[and that] ages of consent should therefore be abolished ...

by acknowledging the affinity between homosexuality and pedophilia ...

[making] it easier for homosexual adults to become more sensitive

to the erotic desires of younger members of their sex, thereby broadening gay identity".

In the archives of J. Sexual Behavior (2000) researchers concluding that "around 25-40% of men attracted to children prefer boys. Thus the rate of homosexual attraction is 6-20 times higher among pedophiles".

From J. of Sex and Marital (1992), Freud and Watson found that homosexual males were three times more likely than straight men to engage in pedophilia, and that the average pedophile victimizes between 20 and 150 boys before being arrested. 7 times more than heterosexual abuse.

The United States Army Office of Judge Advocate issued a study that analyzed 102 court martial convictions having to do with soldiers involved in homosexual acts over a four-year period. The study found that in 47% of the cases, homosexual men victimized a youth.

Bell and Weinberg found that 25% of white gay men have had sex with boys sixteen years and younger.

That "11 times more gays than exclusively heterosexual men reported sex with a man while they were under the age of 13".

In the J. American Medical Association reported that 50% of male AIDS victims reported having sex with an adult male under the age of 16, and that 20% had sex with an adult male by the age of 10.

In J. Homosexuality a special double-issue entitled, “Male Intergenerational Intimacy,” containing many articles portraying sex between men and minor boys as loving relationships. One article said "parents should look upon the pedophile who loves their son 'not as a rival or competitor, not as a theft of their property, but as a partner in the boy’s upbringing' and someone to be welcomed into their home.”

The gay “Guide” magazine published (1995), “We can be proud that the gay movement has been home to the few voices who have had the courage to say out loud that children are naturally sexual ... and deserve the right to sexual expression with whoever they choose.”

The article went on to say: “Instead of fearing being labeled pedophiles, we must proudly proclaim that sex is good, including children’s sexuality … we must do it for the children’s sake.”

Larry Kramer, the founder of ACT-UP, wrote, “In those instances where children do have sex with their homosexual elders, be they teachers or anyone else, I submit that often, very often, the child desires the activity, and perhaps even solicits it.”

A 1988 study even found that most pedophiles even consider themselves to be “gay”.

Therefore, if a 10 year child presented itself claiming to be "LBGT", or even moreso the parents of a 10 year old child came forward independently claiming of of the child and it was "LGBT", I'd be very concerned about what was going on and whether it was being groomed.

Something most Americans I've read voicing criticism of state medical systems don't get is that the successful models, of which there are few, all pay half as much as the USA does for the care and treatments given.

They are successful because they use the power of the state to hold at bay the profitmaking and bureaucracy of that related industries (healthcare, pharmaceuticals etc).

A number of nation even manage to get equivalent levels of treatment for significantly less investment.

The tribally opposed to the ideas of universal healthcare or "big government" are utterly blind to this even when you point to the actually statistics.

They'd rather pay twice as much and have less people treated, than pay half as much and have everyone treated.

Try more recent consensus and check out who the first affiliation of the authors was ... the 'Atlantic Research Corporation'.

Our empirical data from this unique field setting confirm model predictions that ocean acidification, together with temperature stress, will probably lead to severely reduced diversity, structural complexity and resilience of Indo-Pacific coral reefs within this century.

Thank you for your insightful and informative posts even though they may cause a reaction from the political correct crowd.

There are three other elements to explore within the history of such developments;

a) the insidious influence on gay identity politics by the international "Man Boy Love" movement (NAMBLA in the US but present internationally),

b) the deliberatively corruptive manipulations of Alfred Kinsey's circle, and

c) the "idiot left winger" element within the Teachers Union in Japan.

Now, full disclosure here from me, my core politics would be "leftist" but I'm critical of the popular left wing in Japan, and particularly elements within the Teachers Union, for reasons that the moderators would, no doubt, start to moderate if I explained them. One of their current fads is "genderless" education, ie educating children to be genderless and breaking down simple gender barriers, like single sex toilets and changing room etc. I suspect that this is part of that.

They have a tendency to adopt second hand ideas from the West somewhat out of context or proportion and as an over-reaction to the conservative elements of Japanese society. Within the union, there exist the type of Marxist /communist leaning elements you are talking about.

Now, the as soon as the PC crown reads "NAMBLA" or the "Man Boy Love" movement, and we are talking about the sexualization of children and the deliberate promotion of at least pedestry here, they generally kneejerk and play the "homosexual are not pedophiles" card. Which is not true. Homosexual pederasts are. Pederastry is also gender specific. Not all are, but a significant propportion push the limits of acceptability.

It's a very sensitive issue within the greater gay consciousness because it's uncomfortably true. The MBL movement was and is working to sexualise children and include their proclavities within the greater gay message. Which many mature homosexuals were, reasonably, disgusted at and disagreed with.

The thing to then do is examine the statistics for early sexual contacts, or the onset age, and contacts between younger and older members within the community.

They go as gangs for the Summer tourist season to rob and pickpocket, generally with the women and children begging, and often sleeping rough dumping their waste where they lie. They then live off their earnings for the winter back home.

Many are indebted to gang masters who pay their flights and cost and force them to earn so much a day.

Generally they play the language card of not speaking, or pretending not to speak the local language which, in Japan's case, if most likely anyway. That way they flood police resources for translators.

Japanese society lacks the "anti-bodies" to fight them. They will destroy the general environment of trust and safety.

They already have personal and credit card details and have been screened for security purposes.

And offices overseas to recover debts.

It won't happen of course. Instead, like Thailand is considering, everyone will be taxed to spread the costs and have the honest one pay for them.

I'd like to read more details of who and what they are talking about.

Most developed nations have the same problem. The UK has a series of cases of Nigerians going into labour on the flight over and then racking up bills of £500,000 and £350,000 and then demanding a visa to stay.

Tell me they don't know the racket in advance?

A hospital needs to pay its staff, its staff have to pay their bills, why should they work for scammers free?

Does 'heard' include 'read'? How often do you read the Jamaica nespapers? Jamaica is said to have one of the highest proportions of acid attacks.

I suspect one of the reasons it's common in developing nations is that it is cheap, easy and readily available.

As in, if they had and could use guns, they'd be using guns instead but they don't and it's equally devasting.

The recent problems in London, along with vast increases in knife crimes that is leading to a new law where no one can actually buy a knife by mail order any more, is primarily due to the effect of Jamaican community/youth street gangs.

The bigger problem is where a more evolved society, one that has reached a degree of relevative stability, lawfulness and civility, opens its doors to too many lesser evolved societies or members of more lawless and incivility societies.

In England, there is no escaping that this is a cost of its immigration policies.

Read what I wrote more closely. It is essentially a traditional crime in Pakistani and Jamaican culture imported by those communities (it is also traditional in India but it has not blighted British Indians to the same degree), and spread by them, in the same way that the current wave of knife crimes are with the latter.

In both cases, acid attacks very often to do with jealousy, e.g. the deliberate scarring of women due to rejection of a male or, in Jamaica, of women by other women, e.g. jealousy while fighting over a man.

More recently, it's just being used in muggings. You can go to prison for carrying a knife but not a bottle of drain cleaner.

(I read the UK is going to bring in new laws to disallow knife purchases over the internet).

Read up on the phenomena. It's a retiral plan for many. Cut someone with a box cutter and you're looked after for months or years. Given structure, company, free food, a roof over your head thanks to all the "Buddhist compassion" that runs the penitentiary systems ... (running joke).

Many would argue that sanction most certainly do work, and did in the case of South Africa (especially at the psychological level). It worked by turning every white South African into a likely pariah.

One of best evidence of how well they work going on at present is how much effort and expense Israel is putting into lobbying against the DBS movement (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) against it, even going as far as to having it made illegal in foreign countries and stifling free speech worldwide. Israel, of course, being the other pariah state that would do business with South Africa when others would not.

But why is everyone picking gunning at regime change in North Korea? Why can't it just be left alone?

I could understand human rights concerns etc, but I don't get the feeling that that is really what the motivating purpose is all about.

Is the USA still stuck in Cold War mentality? Is it being driven by their military-industrial complex?

It's rapidly becoming the number one global pariah.

Thinking of forcibly removing Kim? See how well that worked out in Iraq and Libya.
